"It's good to finally have you back," Marcel welcomed her.
Winters opened an eye at a time, staring at Marcel who stood over her, the sun casting a shadow on him in that position.
"I never thought I would say this but I kind of missed your annoying face. You never know what you have until you lose it, I finally understood that saying after days of being stuck with those little imps." Winters breathed, sitting up on her lounge chair.
The first thing Winters did after returning to the base was to catch up on the luxuries she had missed while nannying those kids. And that included relaxing on the poolside.
Marcel had a pool in the back yard and with the landscaping and patio furniture, the pool area was ripe for relaxing. He called it his personal oasis, not that it was personal anymore with Arianna and Mimi's arrival. Winters came to know about it thanks to them and today she just felt like luxuriating for once without her computers.
